Man their closed betas and weekend betas must have been REALLY limited, because I am running into nothing but issues now.

 

[Bsigg12]

I'm suddenly getting a ton of lag. It makes trying to play Tracer hard as shit.

 

[GavinUK86]

I'm on PS4 and after downloading the beta and opening up the game, it's been showing "game installing" and only allowing me to play the training for almost an hour. What gives?

Mine installed after about 30 minutes.

 

[OverdriveOtaku]

PC Overwatch: Help a Battle.net n00b out?

1) Is there an in-game interface? Shortcut?

2) Anyone tried using this with Steam Overlay? Just curious how it works with this.

 

[Zackat]

And maybe blizzard should look into the turret stuff again... its still way too OP. Instant Aimbot and it shoots so fast...

pick Junkrat and bounce his shots off a wall right into the turret from around a corner. That's a dead turret.

 

[nubbe]

Bastion is my guy

Have won every game with him so for
Just sit on my ass and spray people down as they run around like headless chickens... lolz

 

[Grisby]

Oh mannnnn. Tracer is basically a dps ninja.

Love it.

 

[Drewfonse]

Fun as hell

 

[KnightHart]

I'm enjoying Mercy but I swear people on my team are wearing horse blinders. No one looks around so I tend to spend games running around things trying to stop Tracer/Genji from killing me while my team just faces forward.

Then the times I don't play her the moment the game doesn't go our way the healer switches to something else.

I've played a lot of Mercy in the past 2-3 hours and this was basically every game. Everyone screaming and spamming for heals. But no one can be fucked to protect the healer. God this game with random pubbies is unbearable at times.

 

[Syf]

this is so fucking FUN with friends, god damn

 

[Gattsu25]

I get crashes whenever I select a character from the character select screen :\

I'm submitting the crash reports to Blizzard. Hoping they can get to the bottom of it.

Edit: RESOLVED

I needed to disable all voice chat options in the game.

 

[Tyrant Rave]

I don't know the name of the map but there's one payload map that's incredibly hard to get an offense on. We fought a team with a Bastion and Widowmaker on rooftops gunning us down while a Mei and Symmetria pinned us at the entrance. It didn't go well.

good on you for submitting, they'll get to it if you do

Sounds like Dorado. Just gotta learn the flanks. There's a tunnel on the left that comes up behind the rooftops, and you can go around the far right to come up the other side of the roof.

also anyone calling turrets op is a newb tbh


so many counters

While that's true, it sounds incredibly condescending to phrase it that way It can take a bit for people to adjust. Remember that Bastion is a human player and coming from behind works well, peek shots, etc. He has to react to you. The Torb turrets will autolock, but dont' do a ton of damage, you can definitely peek those to death with basically any character.

Ultimately both are best countered by either bankable attacks or by just having your team push in. A bastion can't shred an entire team before he dies if they're actually shooting at him, he's quite squishy and large.

 

[TheOGB]

heard it was finally up on PS4

We in there

after I finish this burger

 

[Skyfireblaze]

Hmm I'm facing a dilemma settings-wise. I have pushed my monitor to 74hz and should I play on Medium/High at 74fps or High/Ultra at 60fps with 60hz locked? I mean the answer is obvious but I wish we had an nVidia settings report comparison for the beta :/

I'm running a 7970 overclocked with a 3570k @ 4.2ghz.

I'd play Ultra @ 60 fps

 

[RecRoulette]

People will learn, just gotta give them time.

I was able to skybomb three people with D.Va's self destruct for a POTG, had to take advantage of the new people while I could, lmao

 

[Veggy]

Am I right in assuming we don't get to keep any skins from playing beta on release?

 

[Stoze]

Played for a few hours, just against easy bots so I could try out every hero and get used to aiming. They're all so damn fun and feel extremely good to control. A lot of characters do way more damage then I thought they would for not being attackers, like Torbjorn's and Mei's weapons tear shit up. Same goes with Zenyatta, god damn.

Will probably try hard bots to see what they're like for a bit and then head into actual multiplayer.

 

[BananasWithGuns]

Lol, enemy team got a Bastion Bot. It was game over from there.

 

[Bsigg12]

Yes

 

[TaterTots]

Bastion is like the perfect "camping" character lol. If you find the right corner you can put in a lot of work with minimum effort. I played 4 games in a row with barely touching my keyboard lol.

I am pretty great at the game and a well placed Bastion can be the star that brings the team up.

Chances are half your team is going to run at him, and with the ability to precision turret on some points in the map, it's not hard to blame people that arent super into the game

 

[RiggenBlaque]

I looked back a few pages and didn't see as many people complaining about lag as I would have expected. Am I the only one with a normally great connection averaging around 150 - 200 ping?

 

[Glass Shark]

Got a code for the PC beta and I'm trying to play. When I hit the bit PLAY button in the launcher, it claims the game is running, and I get an Overwatch process in Task Manager, but nothing comes on screen.

I played the closed beta just fine.

Any ideas?

 

[Skyfireblaze]

I'd play Ultra @ 60 fps

Well the thing is, I haven't tested it yet but I don't think I can hit a solid 60fps with everything on Ultra anyways

There was only one big disconnect for a lobby I was in. Other than that, no lag issues.

 

[OdysseusVA]

20 killstreak with junkrat lol

 

[Zaventem]

Game's been installing forever is it normal?

 

[Hasemo]

PS4 version, 4 matches. I love this game, it looks great and fun levels are through the roof.

 

[Dubz]

I got in with a digital pre order from yesterday. Praise the sun!


PS4

 

[Sajjaja]

Anyone on PC down to play?

 

[dot]

yeah this game is dope

heard it was finally up on PS4

We in there

[GavinUK86]

Yeah it takes a while.

 

[TaterTots]

As far as hardware goes, I have a i3 4170 and a gtx 960 and I'm playing on Ultra default with 60 fps. Keep in mind my card is slightly overclocked thanks to the MSI gaming app.

 

[Baliis]

DCed in the middle of a sick match right before we won /sigh

 

[VenomousCoffee]

Fucking love it.

 

[bargeparty]

they really really need to nerf the range on that turret.

 

[BY2K]

Junkrat tries so hard to the Mark Hamill's Joker.

 

[Dubz]

TF2 on steroids. Yup, I like it.

 

[Island]

Two disconnects so far.... I mean I know its a beta and nothing really matters

Spoiler

That just means I am having fun and I dont like it WHEN MY FUN IS INTERRUPTED

 

[supaflyryguy]

My PS4 beta has been stuck on the main menu saying "game installing" for ages now. Is that normal?

edit: ^ guess i'm not alone lol

I was able to join a friend's game.

 

[dcassell]

Wow, this is such a fun game. I'm not even a big shooter person, but I just put 3 hours in. Excellent game, and I'm loving how teams can switch characters to change strategy at points. It's really impressed me so far.

 

[Sofa King]

Why can you not pull your group out all at once? You all have to leave individually?

 

[Snackawho]

If I preordered today would I still be able to gain access to the beta today and tomorrow?

 

[Compsiox]

I had so much fun playing as Mei. I hope I get better with her. I felt like I was helping out a lot. I put up barricades to get our Payload moving. It was awesome.

 

[Phased]

If I preordered today would I still be able to gain access to the beta today and tomorrow?

The cutoff was the 29th or 28th I believe.
